Queer Social Economy.

Justice seems to have dealt pretty
harshly with the defaulting bankers OF
1887. The last to go weeping to the
penitentiary was Ex-President Harper,
of the defunct Fidelity National bank,
of Cincinnati. He was sentenced to
| two years Imprisonment and in his case
| the punishment seems just. There is
| one thing, however, which people lose
sight of, and that is the fact that while
such men as Harper go to prison fol-
long terms, the example doesn't ap-
pear to have that salutary effect one
would suppose. Other bank presidents
will follow in Harper's wake the same
as Harper followed in the wake of Pres
ident Fish, of the New York Marine
bank. Harper was free man for a
long time after Fish and Ward went 10
prison and yet the severe sentences i'm
posed in their cases did not stop him
from going right on with his own
criminal business until he was brought
up with round turn by avenging
justice.
1t is little singular that men who
occupy the diynified and responsible
position of bank presidents, who
usually fill the best places in
the highest social circles and
live like princes. should be willing to
run the risk of exchanging all these
things for the dismal solitude of a prison
cell and the ignominy of dishonored
name. Even if not a matter of prin-
ciple, one would naturally suppose that
such men would not care to comprom-
Use, the liberty of citizen by doing that
which is sure to abridge their freedom
and bring upon them lasting disgrace.
But the telegraph may tomorrow
bring the intelligence of another bank
er's downfall, whose life may have been
a worthier one than Harper's, but
whose penchant for speculation has led
him to forsake the honest path and
enter the old way that sooner or later
leads to the prison doors. The whole
thing resolves itself into a fine ques-
ton for the social economist to ans
wer, and while he is about it, he may
as well give a reason why dishonest
bank president finds more sympathy
among the masses, than man who
occasionally INDUCES in spree, or even
the poor but honest chap who is given
to his cups continually,
This is a funny world and there are
some funny people in it,.

Fighting With Railroads.

The Official Military Gazette of St.
Petersburg enters intoa detailed expla-
nation of the strengthening of the Rus
sian forces on the German and Austrian
! frontiers. 1t asserts that during the
last ten years Austria and Germany
have constructed $500 kilometers of
railway near her border, while Russia
has only constructed 2,S2S On her side
of the line. These have been located
with reference to military operations.
Therefore, as Russia cannot concen-
trate her forces with sufficient rapidity
at the threatened points. if war breaks
out, to meet the quick movements of
her enemies, she concludes to have her
armies, so far as practicable, already Cd
the ground. She wants peace. not war,
but proposes to keep her defenses in
good condition. The Austrian and
German authorities are engaged III
digesting this explanation, and at last
accounts were waiting to see how faI
this alleged evening-up process would
proceed before coming to a decision a.
to what to do about it automatically.
But meanwhile they seem to be doing
considerable about it in a military
way.
1t is an ill wind that blows no one
good, and war has done much to supply
Europe with good roads. Before the
days of steam it led Napoleon to build
one highway through the Alps, and
Austria to build another through the
same to Lombardy. The fine old Ro-
man roads were constructed in the in
terests of military subjugation, and now
Central Europe is gaining a network of
railroads. which otherwise would long
have to be waited for, for the same
cause.-World.

More Clearly Defined.

The convention of Republican clubs
in New York. which ended in the form
alton of the Republican league of the
United States with James z. Foster of
the New York state club IS president
was significant as futher outlining the
platform of the Republican party in
the coming presidential contest. The
platform adopted by the league was
presented by Hon. John A. KassOn, of
Iowa, and the men who formulated il
will have a great deal to do with the
Chicago convention.
The first thing the league did was to
adopt a prohibition plank. Polygamy
and intemperance are characterized III
the platform as relics of barbarism, and
the league pledges itself to make war
fare against them still they are buried
in the grave where slavery sleeps eter-
nally." The remainder of the plat
form is devoted to claptrap and dema-
gogy on the presidents message. All
the prosperity of the country is attrib-
uted to the beauties of the protective
system. and it seems to have been pure
" an oversight that the discovery OF
America was not ascribed to the same
cause Blaine himself could not have
INDUCED in more choice bit of jingO-
ism. To read it one could easily i'm
agine that the Maine statesman had
telegraphed it across the water, it fol-
lows SO perfectly the lines laid down in
his late interview. No tariff reform.
custom duties skyhigh, protection to
monopoly, sumptuary legislation, the
bloody shirt, the old flag and an appro-
priation-the Maine statesman surely
had hand in it all.
And SO he did. His friends made
the platform, for it fits him as if he
had bern measured for it. 1t is dec
laratiOn of principles of which Blaine
is the expounder par excellence. No
one Can fight the war over again better
than he. although he never took part in
it, and no one can better rant of the
blessings to follow a distributed sur
plus. 1t will take all Mr.. Blaine's
skill, however, to steer clear of the pro-
hibition sand bar.
The issues are being defined more
clearly every day, and every day the
Democratic success is becoming more
assured. Nothing but a terrible con-
gressional blunder can defeat Cleveland
and reduced taXes.-K C. Times.

Let Us Have Peace.

harmony in the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party of the state of Kansas is
the one thing to be desired by all who
have the best interests of the party at
heart. But in the promotion of har-
mony it cannot be expected of some to
make all OF the sacrifices and others
make none. The Democratic party is
party of principles, and issues OF the
most important and vital interests are
to be involved in the coming national
and state campaign. It is, therefore,
not question of the furtheriDg of the
interests of one individual or clique of
individuals, that the party should labor
and endeavor to secure harmony in her
ranks. No party should covet the
stigma of being regarded a band of
ofice seekers and political ringsters,
acting and being Influenced only for
the securing of offices, for many of its
best qualified and presumptious leaders.
If in any way the control Of the federal
patronage in this state has become a
bone of contention, it certainly is one
of the most unfortunate positions the
party could occupy. The more IN
fortunate would that position be if the
most dishonOrable means were en-
ployed fcr the control of such patron
age. Offices were created for the people
and not for the politicians, who traffic
in dishonor and misrepresentation.
Politicians should be mindful of the
odium they can bring upon their party,
and endeavor by all possible means. to
keep pure and honorable, as well as
intelligent civil service. 1t would seem
that there are existing jealOuSies in the
minds of small men in the Democratic
party of this state. Small and selfish
men should be taught that the fact that
the only means they possess of success
is cheek and presumption, and these
cannot well be yelled from public de-
lection. In other words, we would re-
mind some Democrats in Kansas that
it requires brains, experience and an
acquaintance with the course of politi-
cal events to be the leader of party
or the exponent of the principles of
party. 1t is not here intended to par
ticularize with regard to whose toes
hese remarks pinch. If more party
solutions, who serve only as the bench
men of leaders of partiZan factions.
would see themselves, they would MAKE
themselves less prominent than they
usually do. Such mUdesty would speak
well for them and would allow the
party to gain in public favor. He who
can not appreciate the fact that his
persistent efforts to ride his party is
an overlooking of the party, has very
little discretion or very little political
sagacity. To the rank and file then
we would suggest the propriety of par
titan independence, and the fact that
as much depends upon the honesty III
the ranks as in the proposes leaders
for growth, prosperity and harmony in
the party.-Salima Herald.

The postmasters who have been
holding convention in Washington

perfecting an organization. Their OBJ
ject is to especially persuade Congress
to improve the condition of the fourth
class offices. The postmasters are an

In the small offices they perform a
great deal more labor than they are
paid for, while in the first-class offices
they are paid too well. Something
should be done to equalize matters and
we trust that Congress will deal kindly

support of the Presidents urgent rec
commentator that the surplus be
stopped by reducing the war tariff upon

The President, with one exception, did
not 60 into details. He took his stand
upon the sound Democratic principle
that the collection of vast surplus
